Both China and Sierra Leone are developing countries. China will spare no effort in providing support to improve the economic and social development in Sierra Leone to achieve win-win cooperation, said Premier Li.

He said Sierra Leone was happy to learn from China’s experiences in country governance, trade expansion, investment, and finance cooperation and further deepen bilateral relations with China.
